Don't look, but Indiana is now a border state...

Indiana governor Mike Pence said he first learned the
federal government had placed 245 unaccompanied alien children in
Indiana through media reports.
In a letter to President Obama, Pence wrote that the Department of
Health and Human Services informed him that the federal government had
housed hundreds of unaccompanied alien children in Indiana from January
1, 2014, to July 7, 2014, but only after reports surfaced in the media.
“While we feel deep compassion for these children, our country must
secure its borders and provide for a legal and orderly immigration
process,” Pence wrote. “Failure to expedite the return of unaccompanied
children thwarts the rule of law and will only continue to send a
distorted message that illegally crossing into America is without
consequence.”
Pence said HHS would only provide him with updated monthly numbers of
unaccompanied alien children living in the Hoosier State during the
first week of each month. Pence called this unacceptable and noted that
Indiana may be expected to be responsible for the illegal immigrant
children’s education, health and welfare.Keep on reading…
